Civilization 4: Diplomatic victory - how to

[PadelbootStudios]

Diplomatic victory: Easily be a friend of every nation, build the UN, vote for yourself and almost everybody should vote. You don't even need to fight a war actually.

[HappyCaddy]

You're thinking of conquest son, this is NOT diplomatic.

[Transsive]

Civs that are friendly (+11 positive modifier) will vote for you in the elections.

[McSamize]

I actually achieved Diplomatic Victory several times at Deity difficulty level, there are 2 ways of having this, either nuking all players so their population drops right before the votes are casted, or being as I like to call it GOD... Making a lot of missionaries that will spread your state religion, and having another green "+" with every leader that is in the game. If they adopt any other religion, you can convince them to take yours, because you have majority :P

[jackskellingtonsora]

The problem with the diplomatic victory, in single player at least, is that nobody will vote, they will either vote for themselves or abstain. So how do you get it?

[axx0]

By simply having the majority of the votes

[Europhoria]

I believe this is the method that Robert Mugabe uses to win elections.

[OoNik0oO]

lol i thought you were going to conquer every civilization except one and force them to surrender

[shaungrenier]

....thanks tips....

[tatsjuzcool]

That's awesome, I havent gotten diplomatic victory yet! Very helpful!

[rozwora]

it's really helpfull.. :)

[tuore]

What difficulty?

[Racecars721]

@EthanShreveReturns First of all, its called conquest victory. Second of all, how can a victory be for homosexuals ONLY and straight people as well as homosexuals both like this victory. Lastly,  if you don't care for this victory, why are you commenting on a video of it?

[MurikfromJeka]

On deity difficulty he will need a lot of army to bring so much other city, and need to supply it... enemies will just overtehnologies...  and much more to say... worldbuilder :D

[DomelBf2PL]

very nice, guys

[rickinator9]

why didnt you colonize the other continent?

[BrownsFan02]

It looks like he had the death grip on blue at the end

[pspboy7]

Yeah, that works hehe, otherwise it will not work at all.

[skully514]

nice vid but idk how i got diplomatic victory (alot of the victories are still a bit unclear to me) i got diplomatic victory by invading another nation then set up a U.N. and then i declared deplomatic victory sooooooo yea lol :P

[little2funny]

Blue didnt get much lol

[urbis92]

when clicking on this vid i was hoping to find a REAL answer.. who cant conquer all the world and elect urself as a UN winner.. g

[therookguy]

What level was that on?

[axx0]

It was on Warlord (=easy)

[pardn]

Reminds me of cancer.

[mikej5337]

LOL

[little2funny]

???

[redplague]

Yeah that video explains a lot, thanks for that.

[axx0]

You're welcome :D

[leeds0united]

nah dont worry mate. their in the cases

[leeds0united]

how do two people play one game.

[onionwingz]

go to multiplayer then do hotseat

its all same computer and you can have loads of ppl play

[leeds0united]

cheers mate.

[onionwingz]

does it work

havent played civ in a while

but i do remember playin with my bro on 3 and maybe on 4

[leeds0united]

i dont know. not playing civ 4 at the moment but its in my "to play" pile. ill tell you when i find out though

[axx0]

I prefer the mode where everyone moves at once, then you only need to wait for the slowest player, as opposed to waiting for everyone bar yourself.

[goodmage1991]

how exactly do u win a diplomatic victory??

[ilovefunnyamv2nd]

you need to control at least 51% of the controlled land, or a comp (or person w.e) needs to like you enough, to vote for you in the UN ps single city? damn I have had enough of a time not being hated by everyone as a warlord ....

[iscrewy]

thats all the inspiration i need im playing it right now

[EATshitanddrinkbleac]

ZOMG DAD TAKEOVER

[PHOTOMAX007]

that was probably on settler difficulty

[axx0]

Warlord, yeah a bit too easy for me as I prefer noble and up.

[kittypaws2011]

How to win a Diplomatic Victory:

KILL THE DISSENTERS

[KingofKings219]

Your dad owns!=D thats pretty funny how you unite to easily conquer the world together.

[axx0]

True, come with me, and together we shall rule the universe; as father and son.

[Tinnesa]

lol, DBZ quotes ftw.

[quadrophrenic]

oh jesus christ dude

[Ccrowe17]

That is kind of cheap to work as a team to win a diplomatic victory.

[axx0]

You don't want to know about the time we won a cultural victory on single city challenge then...

[Dinuyasha19]

how?????

[Montyleeny14]

You know the player used world builder. Only use if you are a noob and cannot fight your enemies right xD

This player = Loser!! Noob!! Fake!!

[refresh967]

Your a fucking bitch loser.Very good vid!!

[lucashp550]

And if you knew something about this game you would know that you wouldn't beable to play world builder in multiplayer.. Read the description, And learn the game.

[Cyberspine]

That is not how one wins diplomatic victory. The turn when the resolution on diplomatic victory is decided, nuke the hell out of the rest of the world. You kill the majority of world´s population, and your enemies cannot retaliate until the next turn, when the resolution is decided with you having the fair majority of votes. :) Nuclear war is the way to win a diplomatic victory.

[axx0]

Good idea, I'll definitively try that later.

[k28xl]

@Cyberspine No this guys way works as well. I've done it and it works. Besides you can't even tell when the resolution is going to pass.

[SondaroSasuke]

@Cyberspine LOL the way to convince people to vote for you is massive nuking the world?! It's... funny, somehow xD

[tifforo1]

@SondaroSasuke

It's not so much that they would vote for you as that their votes are proportionate to population.

[lucashp550]

Was your dad new to the game? or was his capital at a rough area? (Tunda/desert)

[schoolfilmer]

I just got Civ 4 complete, all in one DVD-rom

[Europhoria]

Diplomatic victory? Looks like you just belted the opposition into submission then using your numbers to vote as a majority. I'm going to guess your dad was light blue and not the dark blue which was cained.

[axx0]

Yeah, "diplomatic victory" :D

Well I stated blue :P Didn't catch there being dark blue and light blue.

[ncwarrior]

you made a huge empire :o

you have to tell me how you do that!!!!!!!!

[TomDavid88]

huh?

[mrsmith93]

where you red or blue?

[wessellonus]

i think red

[K7D7cars]

nope, his is lightblue cuz your always the over one! and that wasent internet. he did lose. haha
